Satellite Ceremonies

After the main Commencement ceremony, each school holds a smaller satellite ceremony to individually recognize students. Please note that diplomas will not be handed out at the ceremonies; they will be mailed to the student's permanent address in July.

The chart below lists the satellite ceremony locations for each school. Please click on the satellite ceremony map for reference. (Printable version). Click on the school name for more information. All satellite ceremonies are on Friday, May 12, 2006, unless listed otherwise.

The chart also lists line-up points and seating locations for the main ceremony. Refer to the seating and processional assembly points map to find the line-up location and seating for graduates.

These locations are subject to change - be sure to check the critical changes periodically to make sure your line-up point or satellite ceremony locations have not changed.
